I was just curious on how I would enroll in the "New Fallers training" at the North Island College. I'm not a new faller but am interested in coming to BC to start falling. I have a few years logging back on the East Coast, i'm sure the standards are quite differen't and the wood different in ways too. But anything to help me get started would be appreciated. And just to not the site is very a nice and easy site to surf, full of useful interesting info. SO yea anyone can get back to me, my email is red_barchetta22@hotmail.com. Thx Tyler
